Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 12:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not too shabby. I do sense an oncoming discussion concerning the visibility of it's feet though. Dusty777 22:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Colin°^Talk 17:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not bad, though a little noisy. At first I was going to proclaim that the ID was wrong, but then I realised I'm used to the non-breeding plumages generally found in my areas of experience. JJ Harrison (talk) 08:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Don't mind the feet or noise — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support A superb image. Sharp, great detail, the right angle, and good DOF. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 09:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe in copying and pasting the nominators support code, you forgot to remove 'as nominator'Abudhar (talk)
Support As per crisco, noise for me, is the last thing that should deny a picture featured status if its EV is high. Feet would have been nice but I feel even without it it sure is high EV.Abudhar (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I get this odd feeling looking at it that I have no idea if it's 10cm or 50cm tall.But that doesn't detract particularly, I just thought it was interesting! Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This looks good as a thumbnail but it's far too grainy at full size. --Pine^✉ 19:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
